Answer 8

so you gotta press 2nd function to get log.

Answer 9

Okay, i went and looked it up, i don't know if this helps but here you go

You can calcuate log to any base easily using the change of base formula.

log base n of b = (log base 10 of b) / (log base 10 of n)

so to calculate log base 2 of 16, for example, divide log 16 by log 2, and you should get 4.

You can also use ln instead of log. It works either way.
